San Antonio is an amazing place. Throughout the SA 2020 process, you proved it by showing up in droves on weeknights and Saturdays to dream about our city`s future. At a time when other big American cities reflect the skeptical chords of our national discourse, we had local CEOs sitting side-by-side with grassroots activists in a dialogue that looked like folks chatting over the backyard fence.

Located just below the headwaters of the San Antonio River, Brackenridge Park and the surrounding area has been a gathering place since prehistoric times. There is evidence of human visitation and occupation extending back at least 11,000 years. Native American artifacts dating as early as 9200 B.C. have been found in the Olmos Basin and near Hildebrand Avenue. The Japanese Tea Garden, San Antonio Zoo and Sunken Garden Theatre are located at Brackenridge Park.

Low Cost Vaccinations

Shots are important for your pet.

Whether you own a dog or cat, it is every pet owner’s obligation to provide our pets with proper vaccinations or shots--beginning with a series of puppy and kitten shots and then regular boosters throughout their adulthood. Given the community’s low vaccination rate, San Antonio tends to see an increased pet disease rate. This is especially true amongst animals that are brought into shelters or pets that are allowed to roam.

Animal Care Services offers regular low cost vaccination clinics through our veterinary partner Pet Shotz. All your pet’s necessary shots are available at these weekly clinics as well as flea/tick medications, heartworm preventative and microchips. Cash and Credit cards only please. All pets must be on a leash or in a carrier.

Remember!

Your pet’s shots are very important and the most effective way of preventing infectious and sometimes deadly diseases. Regardless of where you get your pet’s regular vaccinations, it’s also vital you establish a relationship with a veterinarian. Not only can your pet’s doctor provide your pet with wellness checkups and any needed medical care, vets can also be an excellent information resource for pet owners experiencing difficulties with pet related behavioral and training issues.

Here’s a list of shots your pets need to have:
